A heavy, monospaced slab-serif with squared-off terminals and a strongly rectilinear build. Strokes are thick and uniform, with minimal modulation, and the serifs read as broad, flat blocks that give each glyph a stamped, cut-out feel. Counters are compact and apertures tend to be tight, creating dense texture; curves (like in O, C, S) are rounded but restrained by the overall boxy silhouette. The lowercase is sturdy and compact, with a single-storey a and g and a generally consistent, mechanical rhythm across the set.
Well-suited for display typography where a bold, mechanical presence is desirable—posters, headlines, badges, labels, and packaging. The monospaced structure also makes it a natural fit for code-themed graphics, UI mockups, and tabular or list-like layouts where alignment is part of the aesthetic.
The overall tone is tough and workmanlike, evoking industrial labeling, typewriter imprint, and vintage utility printing. Its blunt serifs and squared shapes convey firmness and a slightly nostalgic, no-nonsense character rather than refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact and consistency in a monospaced framework, pairing robust slab serifs with square terminals for a stamped, utilitarian look. It prioritizes solidity and alignment-friendly rhythm over delicacy, aiming for clear, emphatic display use.
The spacing and fixed character widths produce an even grid-like cadence, while the heavy weight and tight internal space can make long passages feel dark; it performs best when given generous line spacing or used at larger sizes. Numerals and capitals share the same blocky, sign-like presence, supporting a consistent, uniform voice.
